Version: v1.3.20240705-or-older

dbus-serialbattery

This driver is for Venus OS devices (any GX device sold by Victron or a Raspberry Pi running the Venus OS image).

The driver will communicate with a Battery Management System (BMS) that support serial (RS232, RS485 or TTL UART), Bluetooth and CAN communication (see BMS feature comparison for details). The data is then published to the Venus OS system (dbus). The main purpose is to act as a Battery Monitor in your GX and supply State of Charge (SoC) and other values to the inverter/charger.

History

The first version of this driver was released by Louisvdw in September 2020.

In February 2023 I (mr-manuel) made my first PR, since Louis did not have time anymore to contribute to this project.

With the release of v1.0.0 I became the main developer of this project. From then on, I have been maintaining the project and developing it further. I'm also solving 99% of the issues on GitHub.

A big thanks to Louisvdw for the initiation of this project.
